Lost your phone? Don't panic! You can track it down using a few simple steps. First, head to android.com/find on a computer or another phone and log in to your Google account.
If your phone was logged onto your Gmail, you can easily track it by typing 'Find my phone' on Google search.
Once you've logged in, you'll see the location of your lost device if it's still connected to the internet and the Location feature was enabled when you lost it.
Remember to enable the location feature on your Android or iPhone as it pinpoints the exact location.
But how do you find your IMEI number? It's a unique 15-digit number for each mobile phone, and it's stored in a database. To know your IMEI number, simply dial #06#.
According to Spiez.com, the IMEI number is a security feature you can use on the IMEI Phone Tracker. This service helps you find the location of your device.
Once you find the phone, you can choose to block it so that whoever has it cannot use it.
There are also a number of companies offering tracking services for phones.
